Fun for the Whole Family
Unlike many Valentine’s events, the Picnic Club is strictly family-friendly. Parents can unwind and soak in the music while kids are entertained at the Clamber Club on-site.
This dedicated, supervised play area offers fun, active entertainment for the little ones for a small additional fee (R50 on the day), allowing everyone to enjoy the perfect picnic experience without the effort.
To keep the day effortless, a curated mix of food stalls and mobile vendors will be available, offering fresh summer bites, signature cocktails, and ice-cold drinks. Because the event aims for a clean and comfortable experience, please remember that outside alcohol, glass bottles, and large umbrellas/gazebos are not permitted.
